After the big to-do we made prepping for our most recent guests, we failed to have a convenient spot for them to house their suitcases in the bedroom. We ended up having to create a make-shift spot on the vanity--but the location was less than desirable.
For future house guests, we're definitely going to pick up a luggage stand (or two). Not only do they fold up to save space, they make items in the suitcase super easy to access.

You can also buy small glass to use it as a side table.

Indeed - A tray would work just as well, and be something you could use in other ways too.
Thanks for the reminder! My new house has a guest room and I've been meaning to get a luggage stand.
This is the one I just ordered. It's utilitarian, but I like that it's got that "backstop" to minimize suitcases hitting my freshly-painted walls.

This is a very thoughtful thing to have in a guest bedroom. I always feel sloppy putting my suitcase on the floor when I'm staying in someone's house. My parents have a large trunk at the foot of the bed in the room I stay in when I visit that serves this same purpose but looks beautiful when not in use.
Now, to remember someday when I HAVE a guest bedroom...
This is a great idea. We had guests a while ago who had to put their luggage on the floor. One hot afternoon we discovered a huge ant train working its way into the luggage--I think if the bags had been off the floor, this wouldn't have happened!
I have a large antique trunk at the foot of the bed in the guest room. It's great storage for me as well as being a good place for my guest's luggage.
I love the idea of a luggage stand, though.
I have never understood why these things cost as much as they do. Even the cheap discount store kind -- just a couple of pieces of metal tubing and some nylon webbing -- cost about as much as a patio chair at those same stores.
My mom brought one with her on a recent visit to my new house..I thought what a clever little housewarming gift! It's now in use in my guest bedroom and I can't wait for my flight attendant friends to drop in and we can have a giggle about my little hotel room. : )
love it, Dorothy!
